Role Overview
The Roofing Estimator prepares accurate takeoffs and pricing for new roof, reroof and waterproofing projects across ICI flat roofing, working from tender drawings and specifications. You work with building owners, consultants, general contractors and suppliers, and you support the project management team when contract questions or extras come up after signing. You also work closely with ownership on special projects and represent them when needed. Good work in this role means your numbers hold up, your drawings are checked before they are priced, and when you find a miss you say so early and say what you will change. The teams you work with will notice that you share what you know, including your pricing history and supplier knowledge, instead of keeping it to yourself.
What We Offer
- Salary: $70,000 to $120,000 (commensurate with experience)
- Work across a wide range of roofing and waterproofing systems and project types
- Direct access to ownership and the chance to take on special projects
- On site role with site visits and travel as projects require
- A team culture built on safety, accountability and consistent standards
- Room to grow as the company and your responsibilities grow
Technical Skills
- Minimum of 2 years of roofing estimating experience, including ICI (commercial, industrial and institutional) flat roofing
- Working knowledge of built-up tar and gravel and modified bitumen systems (asphalt, torch applied and cold applied)
- Experience estimating new roof, reroof and waterproofing projects
- Strong takeoff skills for materials, labour and equipment from tender drawings and specifications, plus the ability to review contracts, quotations and CCDC documents
- Knowledge of single ply and synthetic membrane systems is an asset
- You own a miss quickly instead of hiding it, and you say what you will do differently next time.
- You share what you know with the project team and ownership, including historical pricing and supplier information, instead of keeping it to yourself.
- You make the reasonable call in the moment, such as chasing a missing addendum or supplier quote, instead of waiting to be told.
- You look for the root cause of drawing errors and pricing gaps, not just the symptom, so the same issue does not come back on the next bid.
- You are clear and professional with owners, consultants and contractors, and comfortable representing ownership when asked.
- Prepare accurate estimates and takeoffs of materials, labour and equipment for roofing projects based on tender drawings and specifications.
- Identify labour, material and time requirements by studying proposals and blueprints.
- Examine drawings for conformity and errors and raise issues before pricing is submitted.
- Review contracts, quotations and CCDC documents.
- Liaise with building owners, consultants, general contractors and suppliers throughout the tender process.
- Support the project management team in resolving contract discrepancies that arise after signing, including extra claims.
- Maintain historical information on quoted and completed projects to keep pricing consistent.
- Research materials and costs, and secure supplier contracts when required for projects or requested by ownership.
- Work closely with ownership on special projects and represent ownership when required.
- Perform other duties as required.
